WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

TODAY ON THE GONZO BLOG


We have another sparkling collection of rock and roll odds and sods for you today on the Gonzo Blog.

First up Judge Smith, one of the founder members of Van der Graaf Generator talks about his album 'Curly's Airships' which amongst other things features Peter Hammill himself:

Chris Thompson, late of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and a jolly good performer in his own right does what many have attempted - and failed - before. He tackles Bob Marley's 'Redemption Song' and gets away with it. We have an exclusive slice of Video for you:

We have a mightily peculiar French review of Merrell Fankhauser's new album. Even accounting for the vagiaries of Google Translate, I still can't work out whether he likes it or not. I am posting this more out of curiosity than anything else:

Whilst on the subject of Merrell F, here is a much more conventional review (he likes it) and a very cool picture of the man himself:

We also have a French review of 'Orfeas' by Judge Smith (once of Van Der Graaf Generator). It seems other people like this album nearly as much as I do.

And just in case you missed them, here are a couple of ELP related stories bthat I posted last night whilst in a fit of enthusiasm. They include news of Greg Lake's new tour, forthcoming album, and why an ELP reuinion seems rather unlikely:

And whilst we are on the subject of ELP, we take a look at the persistent rumour that Hendrix once recorded with them:

Until tomorrow, th-th-th-that's all folks (unless I get all overly enthusiastic again)

I must confess to being somewhat alarmed and at the same time being amused by your choice of the words "culture lovers" in your introduction to this item.
Surely the term "culture" is a total contradiction of that appears on the GONZO BLOG.
